ABAP code example for Function Module GET_DOST

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module GET_DOST including all data declarations. The code uses the latest in-line data DECLARATION SYNTAX but I have included an ABAP code snippet at the end to show how declarations would look using the original method of declaring data variables up front. This will allow you to compare and fully understand the new inline method. Please note some of the newer syntax such as the @DATA is not available until a later 4.70 service pack (SP8).

DATA:

ABAP code to compare 7.40 inline data declaration with original syntax

The below ABAP code uses the older none in-line data declarations. This allows you to see the coding differences/benefits of the later inline syntax. It may also be useful if you are using an older version of SAP as some of the newer syntax above, such as the @DATA is not available until 4.70 EHP 8.

DATA:

ld_all
 
 TYPE CSDATA-XFELD ,
it_wa
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CS01_DOSTB_TAB ,
wa_wa
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_wa,
ld_no_buffer
 
 TYPE CSDATA-XFELD ,
ld_set
 
 TYPE CSDATA-XFELD .



ld_all = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_wa to it_wa.

ld_no_buffer = some text here

ld_set = some text here
